How good is Blue Yonder's forecast, how good could it become? We've been asked this question many times, by our current and by potential customers - and we want to give a reliable, honest, and truthful answer. It turns out that it's more difficult to answer the initial question than it seems, because of scaling effects: Slow-movers are naturally coming with larger errors than fast-movers. To account for that, we've developed a scaling-aware approach, which models scaling effects in a quantitative way. Read more about the method and what experts are thinking about it in this Foresight Article, published within the Special Feature on Forecasting Performance Objectives.
